SUMMARY OF KNOWN ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- NONE KNOWN ISSUES : -------------- NONE FIXED INCIDENTS: ---------------- PATCH ID:6.0.300.000 * INCIDENT NO:2813775 TRACKING ID:2813773 SYMPTOM: AMF driver panics the box with the message "AMF ASSERT panic: FAILED(dev_name)" DESCRIPTION: When multipathd is run after AMF driver has started, multipathd calls an unmount operation. AMF driver does not get sufficient information about this unmount operation. As a result, AMF driver panics the machine. RESOLUTION: When AMF driver fails to get sufficient information about a mount or unmount operation, AMF driver notifies all mount and unmount events. * INCIDENT NO:2937687 TRACKING ID:2937673 SYMPTOM: AMF driver panics the machine when amfstat is executed. DESCRIPTION: There was a race condition between amfstat, group unregistration and event notification contexts which gave rise to a corner case that caused the panic. RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the AMF driver to address this race condition. * INCIDENT NO:2951470 TRACKING ID:2951467 SYMPTOM: AMF driver panics the machine when a VXFS filesystem is unmounted. DESCRIPTION: Due to a bug in AMF driver, sometimes a function calls itself infinitely causing stack corruption and panic. RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the AMF driver to fix this bug. * INCIDENT NO:3033604 TRACKING ID:2848009 SYMPTOM: AMF panics the machine when an Agent is exiting. DESCRIPTION: If an agent exits while AMF is notifying it about some events, sometimes AMF causes the machine to panic. RESOLUTION: Symantec has fixed code to close the panic window.
